Traditional Full-Time MBA Admissions Coaches

I am the Founder and Managing Partner of Zeus Global, a private equity firm focused on technology. I earned my MBA from Stanford GSB and previously worked at Schlumberger, GE, ExxonMobil, Africa Finance Corporation, and Leapfrog Investments. These experiences shaped a non-traditional path into investing and entrepreneurship. As an MBA coach, I help candidates tell powerful, authentic stories. I’ve advised applicants from diverse and global backgrounds on how to craft standout essays, sharpen their career vision, and prepare for high-stakes interviews. I’ve lived the process myself, navigating self-doubt, refining my narrative, and ultimately earning admission to my dream school. Whether you’re pivoting careers, coming from an unconventional background, or aiming for a top-tier MBA, I will help you apply with clarity and confidence. Let's work together to make your MBA dreams a reality!

Hi :) I'm an MBA graduate of Stanford's GSB (focus on entrepreneurship & energy), and I bring a wealth of experience in both the academic and professional realms. My journey includes roles in venture capital, entrepreneurship, and engineering. I was also a D1 athlete, but am sadly "washed up" and retired. I've successfully coached individuals through their MBA applications, helping them craft compelling narratives across the whole of their application. Whether you're looking to refine your essays, prepare for interviews, or develop a strong application strategy, I'm here to help - let's chat!

I'm great at helping you convey your stories with clarity, and getting your word count down to your essay's limit with flair. I've helped several folks get into M7 and beyond programs by helping them tie their experiences to their business school goals.

As a former Stanford student-athlete current McKinsey consultant, I have helped prospective students with similar backgrounds craft their essays and narrative on why they should be admitted into top business schools.

A couple years into my time at BCG, I was staring at a blank essay, wondering how to fit my whole story into 500 words. I wrote the “safe version” because that’s what everyone at BCG was doing, and it got me into Wharton and Booth, both with scholarships. But then I decided business school didn't make sense for me at that time, because my answer to Stanford GSB's "What Matters Most" essay read like what I thought the school wanted to hear. I didn't actually know what mattered most to me. A couple years later, with far more clarity, I reapplied to the GSB and answered that essay prompt honestly. What emerged wasn’t designed to impress anyone, but an honest attempt to capture who I am. Many well-meaning readers, including some coaches, told me it needed to be sanitized, edited, rewritten. I trusted my gut, trusted my story, and applied anyway. This past June, I wrapped up my unforgettable journey at Stanford. I coach the way I wish I’d been coached: fewer templates, more truth. I've helped several coachees since share their authentic AND impressive stories, because the two aren't mutually exclusive; I'd argue they're deeply related. If you work with me, my goal is to help you find that version of your story: the one that feels most like you, and helps the reader understand who you are and why you’ll matter.
